Stitching

First up, I need to get February's TUSAL out of the way since it was due days ago:
DSC05328

And, although I didn't work on Alice and the B's this weekend, I did do a bit on them the first of the week. So it went from here:
alice022
to here (they are now at 75.23 hrs):
alice024

For this month's IHSW, I brought home Rainy Wedding and worked on it Friday and Saturday. It went from here:
rw006
to here (now at 27.35 hrs):
rw008

Sunday I spent working on Maleficent and I finally got the blue finished all the way across and was able to start on the next color. It went from here:
maleficent009
to here (now at 43.65 hrs):
maleficent010

It was kind of nice to spend a weekend NOT obsessing over Disneyland. But I gave in and ended up putting in the Veronica Mars DVD's...again. Makes for great stitching background but not so good for OCD control. It's probably the reason why I was able to control the Disneyland issue, I just refocused elsewhere.

Wow you got a lot done! If it makes you feel any better I've watched Pitch Perfect like 6 times over the past 2 weeks and more before that.

Wow, you've made fantastic progress!

Great progress! Well done :)

Don't feel too bad about not controlling the OCD, it is a VERY hard thing to control (or direct), moving it away and refocusing is a coping ability of it own.

Awesome progress this week.

Great progress! That eye looks a bit creepy on Alice and the Bs. You stitched up a storm on Rainy Morning and I won't even mention the last one.

Happy 13th Blogoversary to the worst blogger ever!

Yep, I'm still here. This is the first time I've touched any blog in months. My focus has been in the "me" world. I have a new therapist and it's still early days, but I'm doing much better both mentally and physically. Work always sucks, so that's already a dead horse. And both pups are still hangin in there. My last post was probably the last time I stitched or at least my last Instragram post was. Maleficent still isn't framed, she's still in her ziploc baggie on the kitchen table. Bad me all around. I'm getting worse at this whole social media thing, what little I do. My job is tech burnout, so by the time I get home, the only tech I touch is my TV. The thought of creating a blog post or human communication in any way is just too much. I do have two vacations coming up, so that's exciting, right? I haven't felt like sharing, so very few people around me know about these. The first is a birthday trip to Boulder, j...

A to Z Challenge - B

PART 1 - JANE AUSTEN ALPHABET-COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BRANDON A much better hero than Edward Ferrars in my opinion PART 2 - MY DISNEY COLLECTION-BOOKS Obviously the age limit on books means very little to me: Do magazines count as books? Well, they are on the book row and they are Disney related, so there you go! There are several more shelves of these and they get more movement than anything else because their weight tends to kill bookshelves rather quickly. It helps to shuffle them around upon occasion to give the poor shelves a breather.

A to Z Reflections Post

I'm going to try not to be as wordy as previous years (but no promises). I did two challenges this year, my Jane Austen Alphabet Cross Stitch project, which is now complete: I haven't gotten it framed yet...heck, I still haven't gotten last year's framed either, so there is no telling when it will get done. Thanks to my friend Tiff for her suggestion of the blue fabric over the brown...she made the right choice I think! There is really nothing more to add on my second challenge, My Disney Collection, other than I have realized that my OCD apparently isn't strong enough to focus me in one particular direction. I like to think I have a Duck Room and a Princess/Villains room, but it's more like a Duck/Stitch/Parks room, a Mickey Bathroom, a Disney-themed kitchen, a living room filled with various objects, and a Princess and Villains bedroom. I don't think as a whole, they look so bad, it just looked a bit hoarderish when I divided them up into categori...
